The Boston Business Journal on Tuesday announced the 2014 class of 40 under 40 honorees — business and civic leaders who already are making a major impact in their respective fields and the civic life of the Boston area.

Judges reviewed nominations for more than 350 individuals. Key factors in picking honorees were professional accomplishments and civic engagement. This year’s class is the 17th since the Business Journal launched the program.

“Reading these nominations was inspiring, to say the least,” said Gale Murray, publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “The region has a lot to look forward to as these men and women move continue to exert their influence and inspiration.”

The 2014 honorees will be recognized the evening of Thursday, Oct. 16, at the Mandarin Oriental Boston Hotel.
